Do Republicans still claim to support the Constitution? Because from here it looks like their platform is to attack it.

Then you can say the same about all the people in every European nation and India ( also popular destinations for illegal immigrants) who have all wised up of late and eliminated birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.

OK so what happens when one parent is an American born citizen and the other is here illegally?

Or even more to the point – the mother is a white American citizen and the father a black Kenyan student here legally?

I have really been wanting to become a republican for awhile now. I voted for Bush on his first term. I agree with their economic policies for the most part especially when it comes to taxes. Stupid things change my mind every time.

What we have is an issue of access. When the 14th was written we did not have the ability to travel as we do now. In hours a women can be in the USA give birth and leave. Without new regulations our country is a open door, and anyone can come in. I do think that this is bad policy, it doesn't allow our country the right to be American. The open door makes our citizenship a joke. Our lawmakers are afraid of loosing possible votes from people who are not in reality American. We need change, and it scares me that our politicians are so self absorbed and afraid that our voices will never be heard. Sad to say but the citizens of the United States actually need a lobbyist to fight for our rights. How absurd…

Under section 322 of the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), if such a child lives out of the US, the child is actually eligible for citizenship and may apply for it.

Asking to change the constitution is no more an attack on the fundamental laws of our nation than passing the 14th amendment was in the first place. If adding that amendment to ensure that black Americans can be recognized as citizens is in support of the constitution, then modifying that amendment to prevent abuse of it must also be seen as support of the same.

On the other hand, the left-wing Democrat ploy of preventing the federal government from carrying out their constitutionally guaranteed and mandated role of securing our borders from unwanted visitors, while ignoring the overwhelming, ongoing and legitimate calls of the people to the contrary, DOES sound like an attack on not only the constitution, but on the very sovereignty of our nation.

Yeah, I know that but I was trying to be sarcastic. Obviously failed.

Eliminate the 14th Amendment. Do away with it. At the time it was enacted it was definitely called for, especially in light of what the ex-slaves had already went through.

But, now? Automatic citizen anchor babies and birth tours? Bullshit!!! Eliminate the 14th Amendment altogether, and if it were possible, yes…revoke the citizenship of all the ones you can track down who benefited from it.

Amen, ValleyVixon

Haha, I love this one. Good question?

Great post.

Honesty, why the hell does the US want to be like every other country in Europe? Healthcare for all, open borders, sharia law, didn't we fight a freaking war to be different and hated by all other countries.

You damn right all the way back to 1492. Every F*cker born since then should be an illegal.

Yes the Bush tax cuts really saved our economy. Imagine how bad things would be if we had not had those tax cuts?

They twice as American as some half assed fuck like you.

Only when it serves their purposes. Otherwise throw it out.

Yes. A big difference between modification and repeal. Republicans are asking for repeal. Hence none born in the USA since 1492, other than Native Americans are American.

I was not implying they weren't. Is English your first language?

Hi there could I quote some of the information found in this entry if I provide a link back to your site?…

‘Anchor Babies’ Congress Grapples Making Illegal Immigrants, Illegal
WASHINGTON – In January 2011, The House will be in Republican hands. In a few weeks, Congress will no longer be trying to help illegal immigrants to be legal. The debate will shift to the meaning of the 14th amendment to the constitution. Does the constitutional citizenship include children born to parents who are in the country illegally?
